Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

A wisp of purple light appeared as Su and the boy appeared.

"Watch your back!"

That was a giant Honkai Beast.

But Su didn't care at all; he simply said calmly, "It's okay."

The next instant, ice climbed up the Honkai Beast's body and froze it.

Kevin walked away from behind, glancing at Su. "Su, all the Honkai Beasts have been dealt with. Let's go."

The boy hurriedly thanked them and invited the two heroes who had saved him to their village, but before he could finish speaking, Kevin leaped into the air.

"Flying...in the sky...?" the boy asked incredulously. "Could it be that he...is the legendary magician?"

Then he looked to the side, "?"

"Where is that older sister?"

He called out to his older sister as he made his way through the bushes and trees. Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The beautiful older sister, enveloped by the lake, seemed to notice his arrival. She turned her head and put her finger to her lips.

Then, under the boy's gaze, "she" sank to the bottom of the lake.

"..." The boy's mouth dropped open, and he finally managed to utter a few words, "The...fairy in the lake..."

Inside the Heavenly Mandate, the Herald of Knowledge suddenly burst into laughter. Fortunately, the soundproofing between different areas of the Heavenly Mandate was very good, otherwise her laughter would have spread throughout the entire Heavenly Mandate.

At an unknown height, Su sighed helplessly.

He could actually see the Herrscher of Knowledge laughing, and at the same time she laughed, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that even with Hua's memories, this Lawgiver of Knowledge is still a child at heart.

Gui Naifen watched this scene in astonishment, her mind filled with the legends and stories of her hometown.

The fairy in the lake... Mr. Su's appearance does seem to fit the description quite well.

In the past, he would have wanted to know the answer. But now, he has let it go.

[Bottom of the Thames, Refuge 907]

Sue, Kevin, and Hua, who appeared as a projection, took their seats in front of a huge round table.

This was an agreement between them: since they awoke, they would meet every so often to report on the progress and news of their plans.

"Su, it's been a long time." Hua, who was regarded as a sage of the land, spoke first.

“It’s been a long time, Hua. Ten years have passed since we last met,” Su replied.

Kevin, as always, was watching the report on the plan.

After discussing the "Spark Project," which was as expected.

The discussion revolves around the "Ark Project." Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that we can make contact with the Ark Project, and other projects have also failed.

Currently, only the "Spark Project," the "Sand Project," and the "Stigmata Project" are still being implemented.

Of the pioneers, only the three of them remained.

Hua left first, looking forward to the next gathering.

After Hua left, Su was about to re-enter the Second Divine Key to continue his observations, but Kevin stopped him.

Because Kevin decided to start the "Stigmata Project" ahead of schedule.

Su raised her hand to try and stop him, but he brushed it away. He turned his back to Su and slowly walked out of the shelter.

"Su, I believe you will understand me. I need your help. If you've thought it through, come find me at our usual spot."

After Kevin left, Sue stood there alone.

"I...how could I not understand you?"

"In the thousands of years since you awoke, I will act alongside you whenever the opportunity arises."

My dearest friend, I promised Mei I wouldn't leave you all alone.

Together we traverse mountains and seas, witnessing humanity in this era reshaping civilization.

But Kevin…

You know perfectly well that the "Stigmata Project" will destroy the future of human civilization...

“Mei, I will follow your last wish. When Kevin goes astray, I will—” Su opened her eyes, eyes that had witnessed countless worlds.

"—Stop him."

Just when everything should have been progressing smoothly, Sue's conflict with Kevin took her by surprise.

After that, neither of them disappeared without a trace.

Of the three pioneers who remained, only she remained in the original world.

Those few traitors who betrayed their master and ancestors, just thinking about them makes me angry!

Isolated within the solar system.

Just like Teacher Xia at that moment, in every cycle, no matter how the details of history change, he will understand himself, and then... dissuade himself.

He understood the reasons why Sue stopped him at that time.

Not only for the future of human civilization, but also for...ourselves.

P.S.: I was flipping through the earlier parts today and suddenly realized I missed writing a scene involving the other character. Oh no!

Chapter 174 Best Friend

In order to get the Stigmata Project started quickly, Kevin deployed CYP-630 in the British Isles, genetically modifying the humans of this generation so that they would be born with Stigmata.

However, most of them couldn't withstand that power and became suicide soldiers.

Sue discovered Kevin's actions and, under the pretext of exchanging information, led Kevin to the Second Divine Key.

After Kevin arrived, Su trapped him in the world bubble he created with the second divine key—the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

Here, Sue hopes to have a good talk with Kevin and postpone the start of the Stigmata Project.

“We all know that if this plan succeeds, humanity will pay a huge price, and only a small percentage of people will survive.” A few Bodhi leaves fell, and Su’s expression was unusually serious.

“I know, Sue,” Kevin said calmly.

"This plan is the worst plan ever."

“I know you oppose this plan.” A flame rose from Kevin’s hand.

"The deaths of innocent people make your conscience uneasy."

"You tricked me into coming here so you could trap me."

"You want to do everything in your power to stop me from carrying out the Stigmata Project."

"...So I came!"

To Sue's incredulous gaze, a spark shattered space, and then endless flames fell from the sky.

The flames climbed the Bodhi leaf, and a great sword was plunged into the earth.

"?!" Su opened his eyes. "The Heavenly Fire actually... pierced through my Sumeru Mustard Seed."

Not to mention that most people simply couldn't withstand that power and turned into monsters devoid of any reason!

As for the sacrifices and sins that result from this, he will bear them all.

When everything comes to an end, he himself, Kevin, will become the cornerstone for the new generation to overcome the collapse.

"Su, I'm giving you one chance. Do everything in your power to stop me."

“After you fail, you’ll realize you can’t change anything.” Kevin walked forward step by step.

"Even if only one in a thousand or one in ten thousand people survive, it is still much better than doing nothing and just hoping for a miracle."

"This sin that has caused the deaths and impending deaths of innocent people—"

Kevin grasped the Celestial Judgment, which was embedded in the earth, and the Celestial Fire changed accordingly. He raised it, carrying the most intense flames, and pointed the blade at his dearest friend.

"I'll bear it all!"

Su Wei lowered her head, her long hair obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see her gaze.

"Kevin, I know that there is a big difference in our strength."

“However, I will use all my strength. In addition, there is the Divine Key that can harm you…” Two Bodhi leaves fell, and Su crushed them.

Then, two Divine Keys appeared in his hands.

"...Black Abyss White Flower and Star of Eden."

Black lightning bolts appeared around Sue, a symbol of the activation of the Star of Eden.

"I'm sorry, but I'll give it my all this time,"

"Stop you!"

Friends who once journeyed together through time, mountains, and seas have now turned against each other.

Just like Saifei said, it's a familiar scene.

He stood in Kevin's way because he understood Kevin's reasons for doing so, but he could not ignore the sins that had been created and... the deep pain Kevin was in.

Just like Teacher Xia's advice at that moment.

The moment Kevin raised the Heavenly Fire, Su immediately used the power of the Divine Key.

Eden Star, Zeroth Rated Power——

A small black hole appeared in the center of the battlefield, seemingly about to devour everything.

However, a flash of light pierced through the power that could even attract time, and a cross of flames appeared at the center of the simulated black hole.

That was Kevin's Heavenly Fire; he cleaved the simulated black hole in two with a single sword strike.

The Star of Eden in Su's hand shattered as well.

But Su did not hesitate for a moment. He gripped the Black Abyss White Flower with his other hand and thrust it fiercely at Kevin.

The tip of the lance pierced Kevin's chest, but Kevin crushed it with his bare hands.

"The hypermutation factor is activated... all the trauma has been regenerated."

"The situation is worse than I imagined. However, I still have a chance within the Sumeru Mustard Seed."

Facing the celestial fire that Kevin unleashed, Sue stretched out her hand.

"Distort space!"

A spatial barrier unfolded in front of Su.

But it shattered the moment the heavenly fire touched it.

Under the force of the heavenly fire, Su was sent flying backward; he had lost.

She had witnessed this power in Su's illusion, but... she knew that it was definitely not all of his power.

It seems that they have never understood the true strength of this original source of the Stigmata power.

Chapter 175 Frozen Heavenly Fire

Su coughed up a mouthful of blood, which fell onto the grass.

"...I knew all along that I was no match for Kevin."

"But I didn't expect to lose so quickly."

“It’s all over, Su. Give up.” Kevin held the Heavenly Flame, his voice cold. “I know you’ve always opposed the Stigmata Project, and you can’t tolerate this.”

"But likewise, you cannot shake my resolve. I will not stop my steps, even if my hands are stained with blood—"

"I will bear all the sins."

Su wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and covered her chest with her hand.

"...Kevin, stop. We have no right to act recklessly in this generation. Our civilization was destroyed back then."
